✦ Synopsis

The ;truIysir of the obsened OH (v" = 0, 1) concentrations in the laser enhanced reactions of KC1 (u' = 1,2) with O('P) atoms demonstrates that v~brstional energy in e*xcess of the therm4 aztivation eneq barrier continues to enhance the reaction ate. This reaction also e.+ibits a preferential conversion of reactant vibrational excitation into product viirationa! c..citztion_ * NRC Residcni Research Associateship 1976-77.

Since the probability of the loss of two vibrational quanta in a collision, k,, is much less than the loss cf one quantum, MM argued that the NC1 (u' = 2) reactive channel, k4 + k, , must be the major loss mechanism.
